It may be a little late now, but whenever the electrical gets wet, the battery should be disconnected ASAP. Once everything has been dried out, blown out, disassembled when needed, then it can be reconnected.
Yes, the clutch is probably stuck. Usually they will break loose if you can get it started in gear. Try to get it in a high gear, goose the throttle, slam the brakes, try to shock it loose. Just be careful!!!
As said, block it down so it will dry out once it's loose. Good idea to block them anyway, just in case.
And the front wheel bearings will need to be washed out and repacked. If it got above the rear bearings, they will probably fail eventually, but I would just be aware, go ahead and run, maybe they will be OK.
But the best thing to do, if the water got in the engine, drain it before cranking it through, then pull the plugs in case there is water in the cylinders. Then get it running. The only way to get all the moisture out is to boil it out by operating the engine at temperature. The oil may be cloudy, but it will eventually clear up. If you can't get it started right away, at least pull the plugs, spin the water out, put some oil in the cylinders. Then turn it through every day or so, just to keep the rings free.
As for gear cases and hydraulic tanks, best to drain them before starting the engine. The water will be on the bottom. Crack the drain plugs and let it drip out. Much easier to get it out in liquid form than after it has been emulsified into the oil.
Don't forget about the power steering pump, if equipped, and the steering gear.
Hydraulics and trans cases tend to hold moisture. You may end up changing the oil a few times.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
